this one is actually a pretty fun game - my parents still have it and it got a lot of play when I was in college and took it with me one year.
That Lie, Cheat, & Steal box cover - the board looks like a rip-off of Careers, a game that got a lot of play in my house when I was young. Or maybe Careers ripped them off...who knows.
Star is still playing this one

I wonder about the "house rules" that might exist about what you can stick in there. :o

Don't go there. For the love of god, do not go there!
DON'T SAY IT THREE TIMES, or Starfury will appear!
Ohhh, shiite...here's some more...
http://www.buzzfeed.com/leonoraepstein/13-horribly-offensive-board-games-of-the-past
Side note: One game is labeled "7. "Four Little N-Word Boys," published by Chad Valley in 1950." Whereas the picture has that very 'word' right there to see. I find it funny that they cannot type it. Nor can I, as the NSA is here, of course, and that would be against the Constitution as that document protects everyone's right to not be offended.
And then there's...
8. "Out With the Jews," published by Günther & Co. in 1938.
There's an interesting discussion on BGG regarding certain games and whether or not they should be deleted for being offensive.
http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/20052/why-this-game-should-definitely-be-deleted
I can understand the concern for having random people visit BGG and see this kind of thing and go "Gasp! That's so offensive! Boardgamers are racist assholes! I better call the MEDIA!" But I admire BGG for having the cojones to list games like this in the first place.
Those are bad.
The worst I have is a copy of Bureaucracy.

I was happier the year everyone bought me socks. 22 pair in all.
My mom bought me "Titanic: The Board Game" one Christmas 15 years ago. I looked through it as I have a morbid curiosity about me, but it's never been played.

My mom gave me that, too. I don't believe I ever opened it.
They had a flood a few years back and I think it may have been lost then. I don't miss it, but I do miss my copy of Swashbuckler.
I never played Trump either. I think I took the plastic wrap off and looked inside.
Not really vintage, but here's...Ghettopoly:
http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/124766/ghettopoly
From one 'geek reviewer:
QuoteFor those familiar with Monopoly but haven't seen Ghettopoly, there are the following changes. The properties now have colourful stereotypical names like Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, Tyrones Gun Shop, Sum Yung Gai's Massage Parlor. The two 'utility companies', the waterworks and electric works have been replaced by a crack house and a pawn shop. The railway stations are instead Northside, Southside, Westside and Eastside Liquer stores. The Free Parking space is now marked 'Just loitering'. The jail is replaced with an Emergency Room. To exit you throw a '7' or '11' on two dice. Chance and Community Chest cards are replaced by Hustle and Ghetto Stash cards.
...
There are many editions of Monopoly, but the most familiar had the pieces like the Car, Boat, Top Hat, Dog, Iron, etc, at least in the UK they did. These have been replaced by 7 shiny metal pieces representing the following. A Pimp, a 'Ho, a submachinegun, a basketball, a Marijuana leaf, a 40oz liquer bottle and a rock of cocaine.
I KNOW this is terrible, but I laughed like mad when I read this description. This is no game I'd ever want to own, much less play...but man, the furor this and other games cause among others, it just amazes me.
